3rd Place Finish in National CAG Big 4 Spring Tournament

 

This was my biggest carp landed in the 
tournament.  It weighed 35 lbs., 4 oz.
It was a potential state record and was released.

The CAG Big 4 Spring Tournament has concluded.  This is one of CAG's signature events and it featured about 60 of the best carp fishermen in the county competing to see who could accumulate the most poundage with their four biggest fish.  You could fish anywhere in the US, and we had entries from many different states. The tournament started on March 15 and ran till June 15.

I had one of my better years in this year's event. Yes, little Rhode Island has some great carp fishing and some real big fish to boot.  My four biggest fish for the event were 35 lbs., 4 oz.,  32 lbs., 10 oz., 31 lbs., 8  oz. and 31 lbs., 4 oz. That gave me a grand total of 130 lbs., 10 oz. and earned me THIRD place. All my fish came from RI waters.  Note that my two biggest fish were potential state records which were released.

The top ten finishers were awarded gift certificates to Big Carp Tackle.  My prize for third place was a $100 gift certificate.

This year's event was not easy here in New England.  The weather was ever changing- cold, hot, rainy, sunny, windy with no consistency. For the most part, my fishing was inconsistent, but I did manage to bank a lot of great fish between 25 and 35 lbs., just what I was looking for.

Here are the final results of the Spring Big 4.
